Can a prospect receive a complimentary parking pass on an unofficial (not paid) visit?
If the Steelhounds organization provides YSU with a couple of complimentary tickets to a Steelhounds game, can those tickets be used to entertain a prospect on an official visit? A. No. Professional sports tickets cannot be provided to prospects. However, the $30 per day student-host money can be utilized to pay for the purchase of the face value amount of the tickets. If the amount for the tickets combined with any other entertainment expenses (i.e. food) is greater than the $30, the tickets cannot be purchased since you cannot spend more than $30 per day to entertain a prospect. Further, if a prospect’s official visit is 48 hours and eligible for $60 host money, the $60 may be used in any amounts over the two days ($50 day one/$10 day two) as long as $60 is not exceeded.
